Ancestors

The ancestors of the aborigines come in all shapes and
sizes, in some ways they are very similar to Greek Gods and Goddess',
in that they usually represent a certain theme. Such as the sky, or water.
During the Dreaming the ancestors crisscrossed Australia shaping the land
into its current state as the went. The Aborigines also consider certain
constellations to be ancestors.

The great serpents are representative of Australia winding
rivers, and water in general. The most powerful and well known serpent
is the Rainbow Serpent. The Rainbow Serpent is known in all Aboriginal
cultures and is feared and revered by all.
